Quick Review

Breakfast and lunch consisted of Smithfield thick sliced. My main impression: meaty. I’m not entirely sure I like my bacon to be meaty, but Smithfield bacon didn’t seem to care. It just went ahead and was meaty without concerning itself with my feelings on the matter.

If I were going to write a slogan for Smithfield bacon it would most certainly acknowledge the meatiness issue: “Smithfield Bacon: Mighty Meaty”, or perhaps, “Fat, meet meat”. Maybe “The Bacon that thinks it’s a ham (it’s that meaty!)” Or “Meat up, with Smithfield bacon.”

In other stories, “One brave lad walked into his local Burger King restaurant, ordered a value meal, and made a special request. He wanted his Whopper topped with 60 slices of bacon. (I. Heart. Him.) Did BK live up to its have-it-your-way promise? See for yourself and read more.”http://www.gigglesugar.com/1611446

Mike, you will be documenting any odd growths and changes in your appearance during this month, correct? Don’t forget changes in behavior, especially as the full moon approaches. I’m really hoping you somehow stumble across the lost Czech bacon formula to turn yourself into a Were-swine.

Good point, Ben (#15)…. but what’s scaring me more than Mike possibly mutating, or at least developing severe bacon dependency (eventually requiring a vocal, emotional, dramatic intervention by Bill and Kevin,followed by a long stint in rehab for “pork exhaustion”), is the thought that… no, it can’t be.. Mike, what if, in a month, you eat your lifetime fill of bacon, and can’t touch another strip come March? Facing a baconless life after, like an alcoholic avoiding the booze aisle at Safeway, shivering in sweat and regret? I have faith in you, Mike… ANYone who spent more than a day in Minnesota or Wisconsin should be immune to pork fat saturation, but… please be careful, the alternative makes a hog farmer weep.

can I just offer you my respect and support for your courage and vanguard-i-ness in your bacon quest. I love bacon. Smoked streaky bacon is best I find. Especially when it’s been cooked in the fat from a roast chicken.

Best bacon I ever had in my life was at Peter Luger’s Steakhouse, and it was very thick and VERY meaty. About as thick as a slice of ham, but it still tasted like bacon through and through. It was heaven, in bacon form.
